Summary Document, dated in Fort St. Louis, Québec on July 1, 1638, recording the deeds for two large seignories, or land grants, to an association of eight business partners known as the Compagnie de Beaupré. In 1636, the Compagnie de la Nouvelle France (a fur trading company also known as the Compagnie des Cents-Associés) issued the original deeds of concession in Paris. The Compagnie assigned parcels of land in New France to members who would engage in colonization. The document certifies that Guitet read aloud the Paris deeds of concession on site, in the presence of Charles Huault de Montmagny, lieutenant-general of New France. Also present were Huault's lieutenant, Bréhaut Delisle; a representative of the Compagnie de Beaupré, François Derré de Gand; and three witnesses: Juchereau, Pierre Le Roux, and Olivier Le Tardif. Derré took possession of the seignory of the Ile d'Orléans in the name of Jacques Castillon, bourgeois of Paris, and his associates. Other associates not present include Antoine Cheffault, seigneur de la Regnardière and lawyer in the Parlement of Paris; Nicolas Fouquet and Jean de Lauson, Councilors of State; Georges Berruyer, sieur de Manselmont; and Jean Rozée, Jacques Duhamel, and Noël Juchereau des Chastelets, all merchants.
